The set-up: It's round two of the ACC. Miami comes in off a high-scoring victory over Wake Forest just last night. The Hurricanes are better on the defensive end of things and the last thing they'll want to do is to turn this one into a "track meet" with the rested Hokies. VT enters after an opening bye by finishing 12-6 in conference play. VT beat Miami Florida 84-70 to finish the regular season just last week, but all signs point to a much more defensive affair this time around in my opinion. From a situational stand point, everything definitely points to the lower number as the correct call.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well though, but Miami has seen the total go "under" the number in 12 of its last 16 neural site games, while VT has seen the total dip "under" in seven of its last ten after scoring 80 points or more in its previous outing. This number is high, play the "under."

6* play
